Powerhouse Blind Spot:

The Overcommitment Trap

As a Powerhouse, your relentless dedication often comes at the expense of your own well-being and personal goals (yep, including your weight loss goal 👀).

Your relentless drive and determination can sometimes lead you to overcommit and neglect your own needs, especially when it comes to rest, pleasure, and self-care. You find yourself constantly pushing yourself to the limit, believing that you need to do it all and be everything to everyone. This results in feelings of exhaustion and burnout, leaving you seeking solace in food as a means of escape and/or self-comfort

I get it, ‘self care’ can feel like a chore in itself. But this pattern of overworking and neglecting your own needs, is leaving little time or energy for YOU and then has you turning to food as a means of self-comfort and escape from the pressures of daily life.

Learning to prioritize your own needs and find better ways to cope with stress will be REQUIRED in achieving your desired weight loss.

Eating Patterns That Hold You Back:

Overworking and overdoing without allowing yourself adequate rest, then sweets being your only 'break' from the endless adulting.

Using food as a form of escape or ‘reward’ for your hard work (*especially at the end of the day, end of the week, or when you finally take a dang vacation)

Feeling overwhelmed and stressed, high levels of pressure: leading to eating for self-comfort.

Snacking throughout the day to cope with stress and exhaustion - aka ‘make it through the day’.

Empowerment Strategies to Break Free:

To break free from the Overcommitment Trap, it's essential to prioritize putting things down (think Luisa from Disney’s Encanto!) and allowing yourself to rest. Added note: if your eye twitched a little bit just thinking about the idea of doing ‘nothing’...then, trust me, you need this. Changing this at it’s core, will change the eating patterns that have been holding you back. You’ll need to learn to delegate tasks and ask for support whenever and wherever needed. In order to break this cycle, rest isn’t a ‘nice to have’, it’s A MUST.

If you’re currently thinking “Brenda, if I don’t handle all of this, who will?” and I get that… but I invite you to pause and recognize how societal expectations and gender roles have influenced your relationship with food and weight loss. As a woman, you may have been conditioned to prioritize others' needs over your own and take care of ‘everything’ - even if it means doing it at your own expense. No wonder it leads to feelings of burnout and exhaustion!

When it comes to your weight journey, you need a holistic approach that honors how smart and POWERFUL you already are – and allows for flexibility in your eating that can fit the demands of your day-to-day life – so you can achieve your desired weight loss and be able to enjoy those results in a way that’s lasting.
